7 out of the 8 giant, money center banks went bankrupt in the 1980′s during the “Latin American Crisis”, and the government’s response was to cover up their insolvency. That’s a cover up lasting several decades

    Banks have been involved in systematic criminal behavior, and have manipulated every single market

    Governments have been covering up nuclear meltdowns for fifty years to protect the nuclear industry. Governments have colluded to cover up the severity of numerous other environmental accidents. For many years, Texas officials intentionally under-reported the amount of radiation in drinking water to avoid having to report violations

    The government’s spying on Americans began before 9/11 (confirmed here and here. And see this.) But the public didn’t learn about it until many years later. Indeed, the the New York Times delayed the story so that it would not affect the outcome of the 2004 presidential election

    The decision to launch the Iraq war was made before 9/11. Indeed, former CIA director George Tenet said that the White House wanted to invade Iraq long before 9/11, and inserted “crap” in its justifications for invading Iraq. Former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill – who sat on the National Security Council – also says that Bush planned the Iraq war before 9/11. And top British officials say that the U.S. discussed Iraq regime change one month after Bush took office. Dick Cheney apparently even made Iraqi’s oil fields a national security priority before 9/11. And it has now been shown that a handful of people were responsible for willfully ignoring the evidence that Iraq lacked weapons of mass destruction. These facts have only been publicly disclosed recently. Indeed, Tom Brokaw said, “All wars are based on propaganda.” A concerted effort to produce propaganda is a conspiracy

It's a conspiracy , until proven it was right all along. So it's easy to point and laugh at Flat-earther, chemtrailer, antivaxxer, and see how smart we are in following the "official narrative" while they dont

I begin to suspect, all those dumb-conspiracies we make fun of on Reddit and fb, are a ploy to hide the real conspiracy, and teach us to always side with the "official truth"

Assuming that lower cognitive ability does predict right-wing authoritarianism

If you base an analysis on a correlation... you're in for trouble: Spurious correlation will show you how wakkaduddle you might turn out.

Is it fun, to speculate about correlation? Hell yes.. is it a good scientific approach?!?

Right-winger adore doing it: they have a field day explaining how blacks, crimes, and low intelligence are correlated

Yeah! It's always fun when "low intelligence" correlate with THEM
